Maple Pork and Vegetable Stew

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1-1/2-pound) boned pork loin roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups diced onion
1 (8-ounce) package mushrooms, quartered
1-3/4 cups (1/8-inch) diagonally sliced carrot
3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon country-style Dijon mustard
8 cups hot cooked brown rice
Sage sprigs (optional)

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 
half of the pork; saute 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from 
pan. Add remaining pork; saute 5 minutes or until browned. 
Remove from pan. Add onion and mushrooms to pan; saute 4 
minutes. Return pork to pan; add carrot and next 7 ingredients

hour or until pork is tender. 

2. Combine cornstarch, vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl, and 
stir with a whisk. Add to pork mixture, and bring to a boil. 
Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve with rice. Garnish
